Question

Basically, I have an array of strings to search for. If it were only one string, stristr would work perfectly. However, since it’s an array, the only thing I can think of is to just run a foreach loop and stristr the string from each iteration.

Surely there’s a better way to do this, I just don’t know it.

Edit

For example, say I have this array:

$array = array("string1", "foo", "bar", doowop");

and this string:

$string = "aw dang man lets go to that bar";

I need to figure out if $string contains one of the strings from the array.

Answer 1

Well you will have to foreach through the array, as the point of the stristr function is the return value.
